Israel Is Quietly Expanding Its Occupation of Gaza Under Cover of 'Ceasefire'
For us here in Gaza, this "ceasefire" is a fiction. The bombing has continued as Israel moves its Yellow Line.

Women are still absent from how history is taught and assessed in England

EU has fined X $140m for breaking European laws and refusing to address that when warned. Likely Musk won't pay and the Trump regime will pressure EU, but if so, they should stand strong and ban the website.
And oh the irony that this won't cover the UK, where Musk is stoking division and violence.

trump admin reaction to EU fine of X is illuminating. it shows a few things:
1. they are trying to distract from its own massive censorship of americans.
2. they are worried about losing a propaganda and disinformation platform to support racist anti-migrant parties in europe.

crushingly heartless thing to say after well over 2 yrs of endless images depicting the mass murder & torture of Palestinian men, women, and babies. you can only say things like this if you are too racist and heartless to see Palestinians as human beings. and zionists like Clinton run the country.
Hillary Clinton blames TikTok and “totally made up” videos for young people’s views on Israel and Palestine.
She says social media influenced “not just the usual suspects” but also “young Jewish Americans who don’t know the history and don’t understand.”

The people who brutalised the asylum seekers are called “alleged attackers” when there were witnesses. Within the same article it clearly states,
“Their attackers fled after two local people intervened.
The local people recorded some of the attack on a mobile phone and called gardaí.
